Other people's clothing is a group show with Kevin Desbouis, Pati Hill, Charlotte Houette, curated by Fiona Vilmer. In partnership with Les Bains-Douches (Alençon) & Gr_und (Berlin).
The first occurrence of the exhibition Other people's clothing took place at the art centre Les Bains-Douches in France. For this second part of the exhibition hosted by Gr_und, other people's clothing presents itself as a version that suggests another way of appearing, continuing its investigation into attitudes of disappearance and possible fictions of self. The works by Kevin Desbouis, Pati Hill and Charlotte Houette, brought together for this exhibition, play with surface effects of attraction, suspicion and a promised intensity that operate through tactics of diversion, or what might be identified as a special effect or a joke. The exhibition questions the possible ways of being and being situated in reality, with the idea that something is always - and already - happening elsewhere, by summoning mechanisms of fictions and shifts within their own practice. These phenomena of absorption evoke, through their forms, more or less dramatic, more or less comical changes of state.
On the occasion of the Project Space festival, we will launch the edition of "Suckcess 2" by Kevin Desbouis, followed by a concert by Cesar Palace, the unstoppable drummer of La Colonie de Vacances (and the late Electric Electric).
gr_und is a nonprofit artist-run space situated in Wedding, Berlin, founded in 2017. It is an active space for the materialisation of curated concepts.
Using multi-displinary methods of visual art, performance, sound and linguistics. The way we position gr_und in Berlin’s artistic diaspora is through the vast array of projects we undertake, by fostering cultural exchanges. Ranging from solo exhibitions, group shows, local, national and international initiatives and through the participation in art events and institutional collaborations, in additions to local community workshops. In line with our collaborative axis, we welcome open applications for exhibition proposals by both curators and artists, the majority being from Germany. We enjoy the collaborative effort that comesbetween the space we have at our disposal and the creation of a new body of work by the artist. As we are artists ourselves, we take an active mentoring and supporting stature for the shows we undertake.
